Hi Eric,
Thanks for explanation at this side and yes we are not using any disk on machines using direct acess to map server disk and our new hardware with freedos works same like we used Ms-dos about 20 years of time without any problems but the main problem is as you specified with our new hardware's freedos-> keyb.exe cannot load into to memory correctly and it auto use default 457. We will try settings like you write now for using low memory and return to you if it works. Also if there are other, changed newly written codes of keyb.exe kind that you can orient. Again we can try those methods also. There is still reward on this job as its business. Again who will solve our problem will be rewarded gently. (500$) Thanks and best regards. Salih. ________________________________ Gönderen: Eric Auer <e.a...@jpberlin.de> Gönderildi: 9 Eylül 2016 Cuma 15:54 Kime: Discussion and general questions about FreeDOS.

If you boot from PXE, then you probably use a bootable memdisk ramdisk for the booting of DOS on hardware which has no SSD or harddisk? Then there might be a problem in memory layout which interferes with your attempt to load the keyboard driver. However, I assume you use the same method in virtualbox, too, without problems? Maybe different PXE support between real and virtual BIOS? > We were using ms-dos before but after we changed production > of our mini terminal machines (made a cpu upgrade). They > didnt work in msdos we got emm386 compatibility errors. Not sure if this is an option for you, but you may want to try a number of memory driver alternatives here. In general BIOS support for DOS is getting worse in modern PC, so the UMB memory areas could collide with other functionality on the computer without EMM386, JEMM386 or JEMMEX being able to detect the problem if the BIOS fails to specify areas. So you may want to give configurations without EMS / UMB a try: Load only HIMEMX or similar XMS / HMA only drivers and skip the EMS / UMB drivers. Also, carefully check the manual of the used HIMEM- and/or EMM386-style drivers for special compatibility options worth testing on problematic hardware. > So we moved to freedos and now have a keyboard problem but also > other keyboard layouts are not working too. That sounds like a general problem in loading KEYB. Try for example the /NOHI option of KEYB to fully load the driver into low memory, in case high memory has issues on your new mini terminal hardware. Regards, Eric PS: If you have memory area problems on the new hardware or BIOS of the new hardware, of course the KEYB driver will not be the only part which can experience problems. So try to make sure that both keyb AND memory drivers are really okay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user Freedos-user Info Page - lists.sourceforge.net<https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user> lists.sourceforge.net To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Freedos-user Archives.
